Notes
Pete Prodoehl has been appointed Area Champion for the screen printing area. If you have questions, please ask him.
Tom Gondek is an expert user, in fact, he owns the machine. :)
If you're not an expert, please use only water-based inks, not the Plastisol inks!
There are a number of consumables such as ink, tape, spray glue, and possibly vinyl and transfer paper. Please make sure you replenish what you use.
Clean up! Screen printing is messy, especially for beginners. Make sure you clean the squeegees and screens and the machine itself. Don't leave a mess for the next person.
If you are using vinyl (or another temporary masking/template solution) and water-based inks, feel free to use any of the blank screens kept in the screen printing area.
Make sure you turn the heater off (and unplug it) when you are done!
